“Don’t discount the power
of your words. The thought that they might cause unnecessary hurt or discomfort
should inform every conversation.” ~ P.M. Forni
Sometimes I think it’s just too much work.
Then I remember how sometimes everything in life is too much work, dressing up
for Church, dressing professionally for a job, putting on makeup when I’m just
going to be schlepping around my house, keeping my home clean even when no one
is visiting, cooking a meal when eating out or grabbing fast food would be
easier and faster…the list goes on.
So what does civility
matter? A little faux pax here, a little fist pump there, next thing you know
we have celebrities throwing cuss words out on television interviews. At this
point I’m surprise the presidential debates haven’t’ gotten physical.
That is just wrong. Hence
the whole reason for this blog for the last year. So, civility does count, we
do need to be aware that we make a difference in the world by being civil with
each other.
I made her cookies along
with my apology by the way! Hey, it didn’t hurt to go a little extra!
